 Gluu integrates YubiKey for secure hard token
USB and NFC Two-Factor Authentication

• As strong authentication to network and cloud
  applications continues to drive security needs,
  Gluu announced today support for Yubicos leading
  hard token cas single sign on device, YubiKey.
  The small, battery-less USB device simplifies the
  process of logging in with a One-Time Password
  and has been recognized as one of the most cost
  effective hard token two-factor authentication
  solutions available today.

• Gluus open source cloud identity platform
  enables an organization to authenticate people,
  and to integrate with applications by supporting
  popular open authentication and authorization
  protocols, such as SAML, OAuth 2.0, and RADIUS.
•  
• With over 200 two factor authentication
  companies competing for buyers attention, we
  have sought to test some of the more popular
  solutions that the market has shown to be secure,
  cost effective, and easy to use, said Mike
  Schwartz, CEO and Founder of Gluu. YubiKey was
  the first hard token we chose to test because of
  its widespread use and the impressive list of
  references listed on their website.

• One of the advantages of the YubiKey was the
  simplicity of its design. Combined with Gluus
  platform, a person can use their YubiKey to
  authenticate to web or mobile applications, but
  also to gain physical access or to connect to a
  wifi network, continued Schwartz.
• Gluus open source platform now enables
  application developers using OAuth2 profiles such
  as sso service and UMA to leverage Yubikey
  authentication, said Stina Ehrensvard, CEO
  Founder of Yubico. Were pleased to partner with
  Gluu, enabling YubiKey technology to be used in
  conjunction with the latest identity standards
  and a growing user base.
